Ego Funko Pop from Guardians Vol 2

Funko has released a look at the character Kurt Russell will be playing in the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel. We already knew he was going to be playing Ego the living planet and would be Star Lords dad but people familiar with the character from the comics have been wondering how he would look on screen. In the comics Ego is very literally a living planet. In the comic he can form the land to make a face to interact with people, the beard makes no sense I grant you but what sentient planet doesn't want to look dignified.

  

He has battled Thor, Galactus, and the Nova Corps so he is a pretty heavy hitter. He started as a bit of a villain but recently has become a nonviolent entity in the Marvel Universe. How he will fit in the movie could be anyone's guess but if anyone can do it it is James Gunn. It is worth pointing out that Ego is not Peter Quill's dad in the comics so how he will fit in the cinematic universe is something we will have to see. Now seeing the Funko version of Ego shows that he will be in a more human looking form for at least part of the movie. I am guessing that This human version is something like an avatar that Ego can send out to maybe further his own goals on other planets. We still have some time until Guardians Vol. 2 hits in May so until then check out the Funko Pop! version and let us know what you think of Star Lord's dad.
